“West Papua is not an empty land” relays conversations, critique, and shared cultural knowledge amongst leading artists and voices from Indonesia’s post-colonial and environmental movements. Artists from three activist groups—Taring Padi formed in 1998, Udeido in 2018, and Alyakha Kolektif formed a year later—use painting, woodblock, film and sound art with acuity and spirit, to amplify awareness of accelerating land theft in West Papua to regional audiences.

The exhibition centrepiece is the documentary film Pesta Babi: Colonialism in Our Time (2026) directed by journalist Dandhy Laksono and anthropologist Cypri Dale. It focuses on the escalation in land clearing concessions in Papua under president Prabowo Subianto and his predecessor Joko Widodo. Papua hosts the world’s third-largest rainforest and wetlands and is a global biodiversity shield. Deforestation on the island relentlessly continues as Indonesia seeks to maintain its position as the world’s leading producer of palm oil.

Honoured and delighted to be selected for Grieve 2026.
Many thanks Hunter Writers' Centre 🙏🏼

We're delighted to announce the selected works for the 2026 Grieve Project 🧡

This year's selection, drawn from hundreds of submissions across the country, includes poetry, prose, music, film, multi-media and the visual arts. These are stories of grief and loss, but also, as our curators discovered, stories of love.

“[The Grieve Project] is, beyond anything else, a project about love. It tells us that love is everywhere, that life in all its forms is to be treasured, and in today's world that is a message that bears repeating."

Read the full list of selected works at the link below.

What's next: Grieve Project sponsors and In-Memoriam donors will now choose the recipients of this year's Sponsored Awards, with winners announced in August during National Grief Awareness Month.

Thank you to everyone who trusted us with their stories this year and to our partners, the National Association of Loss and Grief (NSW) and Pettigrew, and all of our sponsors and In-Memoriam donors, whose generosity makes Grieve possible.
